so i went to the LFS around the corner( there are like 3 in my area) the ppl there know my by name (i go there for salt)and so the magager pulls me over to the side and asks me if i am intersted in a clam. me looking for a clam said yeah. so he brings me to the back tank and shows me this 5 inch cor. clam. after seeing this disgusting clam that is bleached and gapping i thought he was going to offer me a deal on the clam or just give it to me to nurse back to health. He then tells me that he's selling it for $50. my jaw droped. i wanted to take a 2x4 and beat his head till the white meat show. so i told him that he'd be lucky to get $20 for that poor excuse for a clam. he told me that it was an ultra grade and i say i don't care what grade it is it's a bleached clam and that i can barly make out that it should be blue and green. so he droped the price to $40. i looked him in the eye and just honestly told him that he should close his store or atleast get out of keeping saltwater live stock because he's trying to keep clams and sps wiht VHOs, by the way i'm yet to see any new bulbs put in in the past 4 years, they try to bring in the rare and unusual but just about all of their fish other than clowns eels, and damsles die at the store. i also told him that he can find xenia (i supply the store wiht most of it's xenia in extange for salt)from someone else because i donot want any ties with anyone who is willing to cheet their customers wiht a highprices low rate live stock. i made such a fuss that may of the peole who were looking at the saltwater live stock( most of them are beginners asking the employees questions) looked at me with a strange and awwed look. i told the manager that i will take my money and frags to Tideline(the best store in the county) on my way out i heard a lady ask an employee,"where is Tideline?" hearing this i put on a sort of a smlie of victory. sorry for this post but i just had to vent.
